Th<e End of the Beginning
Watch out! Don't slacken! Don't let the dazzling rainbow of victories won blind us to the fact that the storm is
not yet over, that the clouds are still dark above us. The end
is not yet.
Winston Churchill warned us of that when he said this
' was., the end of the beginning—not the beginning of the end.
And we must take, heed.
It is the end of the beginning—of the period of indecision, of the hour in which we woke from dreams of peace to
the reality of war, of the days and nights in which we had
to reorganize not only our lives but our manner of thought, to
reorient ourselves to a word ruled by the exigencies of war.
But the end is not yet. We cajmot win the war by over-
••* confidence, we cannot assume the game is over when the play
, begins to run our way. The decision will come at the end of
the game when the last play has been made and the last battle
: fought. We cannot leave the field until the final second of the
game.
We want to win this war that we may return to what
jMSve had. We do not want anything from any other nation. We
;=9Wnt only FOR other people that freedom which we claim
for ourselves—the freedom of speech, expression and reli-
i gion, the freedom from want and fear. <
We cannot win this war by wishing. We have to win it
by work. The'quickest way to win the war is the best way
to win it, and this means discarding everything that won't
help in the all out effort. To win the war we must have neither idle hours nor idle dollars. But money is not enough.
Production is'not enough. Men are not enough. We must add
to these that extra effort, that all essential will to win. We
* must accept restrictions—willingly. We must do all we can—
gladly.
We must not allow ourselves to be caught by Axis inspired propaganda. We must not hr spreaders of rumor. We

Less Talk, More Conservation
So far in this war there has been too much conVERsa-
tion and too little eonSERvation. We are still talking about
what we^want, rather than working to save what we have.
Our whole economy is in the throes of change. We can't
catch up on lost time going on as usual. The tremendous resources of which we have so proudly boasted will avail us
nothing unless we put them to work. But the change-over
from peacetime to wartime production cannot be made thus
abruptly without the day by day cooperation of each and ev- .
ery one of us. ;
We can survive this test as- a nation, only if we survive
this test as individuals. If we plan intelligently, we can do
our part in conserving and utilizing everything we possess
md thus save the materials which are so vitally needed for
he conductof the war. We will need all of our ingenuity and
our vaunted cleverness to do this, but we can accomplish it
by eliminating waste and conserving our resources, not only '
of money and materials but of time and energy. j
Conservation is the tank warfare of the home front. For
by conserving all our materials for a common war fund, we
can plow through obstacles, and smash through barriers with |
concentrated strength expended for the sole purpose of
achieving Victory in the shortest possible time.
_ There is a paragraph sent out by one of the government
offices which we all ought to keep in front of us.
Seventy gallons of gasoline will drive your car
a thousand miles.
Seventy gallons of gasoline will keep a fighter ,
plane up one hour.
This is STILL a free country.
Make your own choice.
\ Conservation isn't so much a doing without, as it is a
doing with. What we learn from conservation will be invaluable. There are reserves of inventive power in all of us upon
which we can draw. There are reservoirs of good will in
America which have never been tapped. When the war is
over, we should have learned to consider and judge possessions and ways of life in their proper perspective. We will be
able to live better, because we have learned what we can do
without, what we can do for ourselves, and how we can work
together, shoulder to shoulder, without regard to class or
color, race or religion.

Quiz Program Finishes
Twelfth Week; Smiley
on Radio Next Week
Twelve weeks of Lhe radio scholarship quiz program have gone by,
with the third program in tne third
round coming up next week.
Conducted by the faculty of
Western Reserve university, with
the 20 leading scholars of Stark
county as the contestants, the radio programs have attracted a wide
audience of persons interested in
the contest. "How widespread this
interest is, is evidenced by the
bonds purchased each week and the
number of votes cast for the various contestants.
Tuesday evening Robert Smiley
will appear with the other three
contestants, unless he is unexpect
edly kept away by illness. Thus far
Smiley has received fine support
from his many friends who have
helped to keep him in the upper
half of the group. Their continued
support may find him one of the
four lucky winners when the filial
score- has been tot? led.
In the event that one of the
scholarship winners is drafted for
military service when he' completes
high school, as may be the case,
the scholarship will be held for
him until he is released, frcm serv-
ice. The students who" win .'one*' of
the four scholarships will be able
to attend the college or university
of their own choice. The remaining
sixteen students will each receive
a tvvo hundred dollar war bond,

Those Stamps Are More Pre
cious Than
They Have to Be the Right

This business of rationing gasoline, important as it has become
in the daily lives of nearly every
American, still has quite a few
folks thoroughly bewildered, wondering just what it is all about.
Not so bewildered, but quite of-

tion attendants who must explain
to their best customers that when
they ask for their ration books before they can put gasoline in the
tank it isn't because they don't
trust the customer, but because that
is what the law demands.
When a motorist drives into a
•service station for gasoline the law
requires that he give . his ration
book to the service "station attendant before he can be given his
ration.
Each stamp in the book must
have written on the" back of it the
license number of the car and the
name of the state. These numbers
■nust be checked against the license
-date by the attendant and the number of st°mps removed from' the
'}ook which are to be used before

People 'often say they want to see their home towns go

It would be fair to ask what they have done to make

catch up on lost time going on as usual. The tremendous resources of which we have so proudly boasted will avail us
nothing unless we put them to work. But the change-over
from peacetime to wartime production cannot be made thus
abruptly without the day by day cooperation of each and ev- .
ery one of us. ;
We can survive this test as- a nation, only if we survive
this test as individuals. If we plan intelligently, we can do
our part in conserving and utilizing everything we possess
md thus save the materials which are so vitally needed for
he conductof the war. We will need all of our ingenuity and
our vaunted cleverness to do this, but we can accomplish it
by eliminating waste and conserving our resources, not only '
of money and materials but of time and energy. j
Conservation is the tank warfare of the home front. For
by conserving all our materials for a common war fund, we
can plow through obstacles, and smash through barriers with |
concentrated strength expended for the sole purpose of
achieving Victory in the shortest possible time.
_ There is a paragraph sent out by one of the government
offices which we all ought to keep in front of us.
Seventy gallons of gasoline will drive your car
a thousand miles.
Seventy gallons of gasoline will keep a fighter ,
plane up one hour.
This is STILL a free country.
Make your own choice.
\ Conservation isn't so much a doing without, as it is a
doing with. What we learn from conservation will be invaluable. There are reserves of inventive power in all of us upon
which we can draw. There are reservoirs of good will in
America which have never been tapped. When the war is
over, we should have learned to consider and judge possessions and ways of life in their proper perspective. We will be
able to live better, because we have learned what we can do
without, what we can do for ourselves, and how we can work
together, shoulder to shoulder, without regard to class or
color, race or religion.

iDo People Want Progress?
People 'often say they want to see their home towns go
ahead, and they issue complaints because the rate of progress is not so fast as they think it should be.
It would be fair to ask what they have done to make
these places go ahead. If they have not worked in the organizations that promote local causes and improvements, if
they have not attended strictly to the duties of citizenship,
if they have not kept nice looking homes, and if they have 6, Harold Frederick Wepler of
